Other colleges:

You can find many government BHMS colleges across India, but with 450 marks your chances may be limited in some colleges.

To secure a government seat in BDS, BAMS, or BHMS, aim for a NEET score of 400+ for general category, 350+ for OBC, and 280+ for SC/ST. These scores can provide a good chance for admission, but some colleges may accept lower scores.

Elaboration:

BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery):

A score of 400-500 is considered a good score for ST candidates and 400-450 for SC candidates for government dental colleges.

BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery):

A score between 450-500+ is well-positioned for government BAMS colleges, particularly those with good infrastructure, faculty, and training facilities.

BHMS (Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery):

Similarly, a score between 450-500+ is considered good for government BHMS colleges.

Category-wise Scores:

General Category: 400+

OBC: 350+

SC/ST: 280+

Management Quota:

Some colleges may have management quota seats, where even lower scores can be sufficient if you have the financial means.

Factors Influencing Cutoffs:

Cutoffs can vary based on the specific college, state, and category. It's always recommended to check the previous year's cutoff trends and consider the college's reputation and infrastructure.

To get admission to a BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) course in India, you need to qualify for the NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) UG exam. There isn't a fixed "minimum mark" that guarantees a BAMS seat, as the required score depends on several factors that vary each year. However, understanding the general trends and qualifying criteria can give you an idea.

Firstly, to be eligible to appear for NEET, you need to have passed your 10+2 examination with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology as compulsory subjects and generally secured a minimum aggregate of 50% marks (40% for reserved categories like OBC).

After appearing for NEET, the National Testing Agency (NTA) releases the qualifying cutoffs. To be eligible for BAMS admission through counseling, you must score above this qualifying percentile. For the NEET 2024 exam, the qualifying percentile for the general category was the 50th percentile, and for OBC/SC/ST categories, it was the 40th percentile. The corresponding marks for these percentiles vary each year based on the overall performance in the exam. For example, in NEET 2024, the general category cutoff score was 720-162, and for OBC/SC/ST, it was 161-127. The expected NEET 2025 cutoffs are likely to be in a similar range but will be released after the exam.

However, merely qualifying in NEET doesn't guarantee a seat, especially in government colleges, which have higher cutoff ranks. The actual marks required for admission (the "admission cutoff") depend on factors like the difficulty level of the NEET exam, the number of candidates, the number of BAMS seats available, and the reservation policies.

Generally, for a good chance of securing a BAMS seat in a government college, a NEET score above 400 might be considered a decent benchmark, but this can vary significantly between states and colleges. For private BAMS colleges, the cutoff scores might be lower.

With an average score of 400, you have a good chance for:

BAMS: Likely in private colleges or some govt colleges (especially with OBC/SC/ST reservation)

BHMS: Possible in both govt and private colleges

BDS: Tough for govt colleges, but possible in private colleges

Category and state can affect your chances.

To get admission into a good BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) or BHMS (Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery) college as an OBC category student, you will need to secure a competitive score in the NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test). The exact score required can vary each year and depends on factors like the difficulty of the exam, the number of available seats, and the overall performance of candidates.

However, based on previous years' trends, for a good government BAMS college under the OBC category, you should aim for a NEET score in the range of 480 to 550 or even higher . For good government BHMS colleges, the required score might be slightly lower, potentially in the range of 450 to 520 or above . For private colleges, the cutoff scores can be lower than government colleges, but good ones will still require a decent score. Keep in mind that these are just estimations, and the actual cutoffs for the NEET 2025 admissions might differ.

Regarding which course might be better for you having studied in Hindi medium, both BAMS and BHMS have their course material and teaching primarily in English at the undergraduate level in most good colleges across India. While some colleges, especially those in Hindi-speaking states, might use Hindi for some explanations or have study material available in Hindi, the core medical terminology and curriculum will largely be in English.

Therefore, your school's medium of instruction might not be the most significant deciding factor between BAMS and BHMS. The choice should ideally depend on your personal interest in the specific medical system.

BAMS focuses on the traditional Indian system of Ayurveda, emphasizing natural remedies, herbal medicines, and a holistic approach to health. It involves a detailed study of ancient Ayurvedic texts alongside modern medical subjects.

BHMS focuses on Homeopathy, an alternative system of medicine that uses highly diluted substances to stimulate the body's healing response. It follows the principle of "like cures like."

Both BAMS and BHMS offer promising career paths as medical practitioners in their respective fields. BAMS graduates can work in Ayurvedic hospitals, wellness centers, and research institutions, and there's growing global interest in Ayurveda. BHMS graduates can work in homeopathic clinics, hospitals, and also have opportunities in research and pharmaceuticals.

Ultimately, the better choice for you depends on which medical system resonates more with your interests and career aspirations. It would be beneficial to research both fields further, perhaps speak to practitioners or students in these fields, and then make an informed decision.
